It's had quite a bit of fuel run through I would bet, but it looks very nice. The head is still very smooth and light colored.

one thing I noticed is the throttle "plunger" (what's the real term for this?) doesn't expand and contract smoothly, but is dented in when you squeeze the throttle and then "pops" out after a second.

What would be race quality engine/carb I could just put on this body? still an os .21? Or should I look for somethign else? I don't want to spend $300+ but I would flip a couple hundred for it.

What about the STS engines?

Thanks
